Why is it hard to learn code?

some think it's because logic & code same thought process as mathematics
do creative people have a mental barrier to math?

so we have to organize our thought processes into a simple linear model that a computer can
follow,which also helps us express our wishes clearly without making intuitive leaps to a solution
